and it is a tough situation when something like that happens. and we do everything possible that we can to get to make a rescue in time to save somebody. >> reporter: authorities say a total of six people lived in that one apartment, and all but the girl escaped. dozens of others were displaced, as well. the red cross is helping them tonight. and catholic charities manages the apartment and tells us that many of them living there were formerly homeless families, including a number of children. nobody was hurt in a fire in pacifica, happening at a towing yard on palmetto avenue. they linked the fire to the shop next door. >> 911, my building is on fire. there is a wrecking yard next door with cars and gas tanks. you can hear things blowing up at the time. okay? and then i ran out. >> investigators are still

happened last night in siberia, when a huge meteor blasted through the area, blowing out windows, injuring people. if only we had seen it coming. this foundation hopes to give us the extra set of eyes in the sky. for the past several months, the nonprofit in the bay area has been raising money to build a telescope that orbits the sun by 2018. it is expected to discover more asteroids than any other element, they hope to deflect any large object heading to the planet. >> i think it is a wake-up call, especially when you consider it happened the same time, exact same day as the asteroid fly-by. so we're becoming very aware. >> reporter: yesterday, a 100 foot asteroid passed within,

17,000 milines of our planet. too late to do anything if it was to hit us. >> we live in a shooting gallery and got into a cross fire. >> reporter: and that cross fire was aimed at us, as well, yesterday, terry and diane. this is video of a bright light streaking across the skies last night at 8:00. quite a big deal to anybody who saw it. but cosmically speaking, not so much. today, the meteor society said it was not a big event, pointing out it happens all over the world, just not where there are heavily populated areas where people like us get to see it. all right, thank you bob. there is a massive cleanup effort under way in russia, the shock wave from yesterday's meteorite blew out windows in the buildings. officials promise to have the windows fixed within a week, but

demonstrators gathered outside the police headquarters, saying they stand for christopher dorner. the ex-police officer suspected of killing at least two people, the focus of a manhunt that ended on tuesday in a gun battle, followed by an explosion in a cabin, and then christopher dorner's death. this former marine, one of the organizers of the protest questioned how the police standoff ended. the san bernardino county sheriff john mcmahon said they fired the tear gas into the cabin, but denied they intent n intentionally set the fire in the cabin. >> the law enforcement is not the judge or jury, they're not supposed to be the executioner, and if you have those three things it is probably called a police state. >> reporter: the manifesto set off sympathizers. many believe that dorner was the victim of police corruption when

he was allegedly fired back in 2009. do you support christopher dorner? >> i don't support what he did, it is tragic lives were lost. >> and yesterday, the autopsy was released, showing dorner's cause of death was a single gunshot to the head. the family of oscar pistorius, the south african who was accused of shooting his girlfriend, is numb as well as filled with grief over reeva steencamp's death. pistorius, who was a double amputee, is charged with her murder and is yet to enter a plea, his family says -- says he is innocent. and there could be a clear path to citizenship in eight years, the white house plans to move forward with the plan. according to the white house
